Can someone please explain to me the Reason for making hundreds of National Guard troops sleep on the floor in the capital?

None of this seems like standard operating procedure. Do they not take shifts and get beds to sleep in? None of this makes sense

This is how they're trained and what they're expected to do in the field.

I wouldn't expect them to sleep in nearby hotels. There isn't exactly space for them to setup camp outside. Sure, they probably could move 7500 cots in, but somehow I doubt the National Guard has that many ready to go for relatively short term deployments like this.

So, you sleep when you can where you can.
